I just love Molly and I always want all of the best things for her, so I love seeing her paired off with Juan and living her best life at the Regency. However, I kind of hope this was the last installment in this series, as I feel it really wrapped everything up nicely and Molly has her "happily ever after."
This book was more sweet than intriguing, for me. I found the story interesting, and it was fun learning more about Gran and how her life unfolded. I wasn't really invested in the mystery side of the story, mostly because Molly didn't really seem as invested either! In summary, I thought this was a good end to the trilogy and I'm curious as to what Nita Prose has in store next!

Molly becomes an overnight sensation when a family heirloom she submits for appraisal turns out to be a priceless treasure—only for it to be stolen in a heist. Gran's diary reveals shocking truths about her past, connecting Molly to Gran's love story and the valuable artifact as she tries to solve the mystery.

It's just as quick, light, and charming as the first few books in the series but lacks the same level of intrigue. This is the first time we don't have a death mystery to solve, so the stakes aren't as high. Readers must also be okay with a "diary tell-all" storytelling mechanism.

That said, it was enjoyable, especially to learn more about Molly's family and see her story come full circle. There were also a few surprises along the way!

This was my least favorite story in The Maid series, although I still enjoyed it. Molly is such a loveable character and it was nice to get to know Gram more. I don't know if I'd continue in the series as I think Molly's story has run it's course. I would happily pick up something else Nita Prose writes outside of this series. If you enjoy a cozy mystery with loveable characters, this series is a must!

From cleaning suites to solving mysteries—Molly is THAT girl. But when a family heirloom goes missing on national TV, and her Gran’s secret love story comes to light? Things get real messy, real fast.
Here are reasons to read the mystery book -

It’s A Sequel! Come for the characters, stay for the fun.


This is the fourth book with this character and of course the thing I always love about Molly is that she is representative of someone who is neurodivergent. She sees and reacts to the world differently and I connect to that a lot. This is not a murder mystery like the first 2 but it is a mystery. And interspersed we learn about Molly’s Gran who has passed a few years before and her backstory. It was very sweet and I loved learning more about her.

Back with my dear Molly 💛 Thank you for the advanced copy! 🫶🏼 The Molly the Maid series is one of my all time favorites and this 4th book in the series was no exception.

This time, we find ourselves back at the Regency Grand Hotel where famous auctioneers have arrived to do a live on air appraisal for their TV show. When Molly has them take a look at a trinket egg that once belonged to her Gran, the crowd is shocked to learn it’s worth millions of dollars. But then, the egg goes missing and a whodunnit unfolds. Who stole Molly’s treasured egg? And why? Did her Gran know it was worth this much all along?

As always, this book was just so sweet. Molly is one of my very favorite characters and I just love reading about her. She takes everything in life at face value and she’s just so fun. We also learn a lot about her Gran’s childhood and upbringing in a wealthy family and that was so charming too. I will say this book was a bit more cheesy and outlandish than others in the series, but I do think that’s part of the charm. If you’re looking for a fun, easy series I will always always recommend this one!

I received this e-book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and the author/publisher for the copy!

Molly the Maid has made her return yet again. In this next novel, we are not only taken into the life of Molly, but we are taken back in time to her Gran's life also. As Molly's wedding approaches, the Regency Grand hosts a popular TV show, Hidden Treasures, where the hosts appraise pieces that people bring in. The staff at the Regency were told they could bring in items before the actual filming as well, Molly among them. With Juan's suggestion, Molly ends up bringing an egg that she thinks has no value.

I truly enjoy reading about Molly the Maid's life, but this book was a slow burn for me. The ending really helped save this book for me and it tied up some left out pieces. If you've enjoyed the rest of this series, I think you'd enjoy this 3rd book. It's a great addition to the series and helps you to understand Gran and Molly a lot better.

I love this entire series, so I was really excited to receive this as an ARC! I love revisiting with the characters of these books. They are all so unique & individually themselves and they care about each other so deeply. In this one, we get introduced to a new doorman since Mr. Preston has retired, and I will admit that at first, I was a little iffy on him. He has "modern" slang that he uses, and it put me off a bit - how does that fit into the opulence of the Regency Grand? However, over time, the character totally won me over and I looked forward to his parts throughout the story. He fit right in!

I loved getting more of the grandma's backstory in this one and I liked that it was done via a diary that she left for Molly. I think that fit the characters perfectly. Having the different timeline chapters is something I really love. I enjoy getting to see how they intertwine, even many years apart.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinions.

I have loved this series from the beginning and The Maids Secret continues that love. I especially enjoyed the story line of her Gran and her life story. Another great read for me. I didn’t enjoy Molly’s story line as much for this book, but it fed nicely into the telling of her Gran’s history.

The latest adventure Molly found herself on had me next to my kindle all day! This time, as Molly is close to her marriage to Juan Manuel, she finds herself discovering one of her possessions just could make her a millionaire, finally changing her and Juan Manuel’s life.

At the same time we start hearing from Gran’s life story through a diary she left Molly before her passing. We learn about how her life is truly a “fairytale in reverse” as she called it, and we discover where the wisdom she passed onto Molly came to be.

Nita Prose did a fantastic job in this book, and had me shedding tears as I’ve read Gran’s life story.

I am completely obsessed, this was such a great plot. This is definitely my favorite book of the series! I am a Molly die hard fan and The Maid’s Secret just solidified my stance.

Thank you to Random House Publishing Group for providing me the opportunity to read the ARC of this book!

Dear Nita Prose. You’ve done it again! Molly is one of my favorite characters ever. The pacing of this book was perfect, the dual timelines were not only easy to follow but gave such depth and background into Molly and Gran, and Chapter 36 had me doing an ugly cry. Bravo on another delightful book.

It was so good to be back with Molly the Maid! I love Molly's character, she is so quirky and straightforward, it gives her a quiet confidence at her job and with others. There are times when I feel a little second hand embarrassment when she doesn't pick up on social cues but Nita is always so good at writing past that.

At first I was worried about the back and forth between past and present but I loved learning about Gran's life and story. It helped answer questions about Molly's mom and it connected well with the present mystery of the egg. The theft kept the story moving along, without it I don't think there would be enough for a 3rd book in this series.

There were some aspects that I didn't love so much; the tv show felt over the top at times and some of the characters were slightly annoying. But there wasn't enough to make me hate the story and stop reading it! Molly is just such a unique character that you can't help but cheer for!

This is my least favorite of the series but overall a satisfying read and a solid 3 stars! Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

The Maid’s Secret is the fourth book chronicling Molly Gray. Molly is a maid at a hotel and her fiancé is a pastry chef there too. This book alternates each chapter between present day Molly and then her grandmother’s journal. There is a television show for collectors that is filming at the hotel. Molly brings a box of trinkets. In the box is a jeweled Fabergé egg. The egg is actioned off as for ten million dollars. Right at the end of the auction, the egg disappears. Alternatively, her grandmother’s story comes to tell about the Fabergé egg came into the family’s possession. Back to Molly’s story. The egg was found on her cleaning cart at the hotel. They thought that the two men who were the hosts of the tv show and auctioning off the egg were involved. Molly devised a plan to set them up to expose themselves. The plan worked and one of the men was involved. In the end, Molly solved the crime and married her fiancé Juan. 3.5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and Ballentine Books for an advanced e-copy for an honest review.

This is the third book in the Molly the Maid series by Nita Prose- and I still love the character of Molly. Each book can be described as a "cozy mystery" but the best part is truly the main character. In the third book we meet Molly again as she has been promoted from Head Maid to Special Events Manager at the hotel her and her fiance work at. The hotel has the opportunity to host a favorite TV show "Hidden Treasures" where two popular art appraisers have guests bring in their treasures to see what is junk and what is really worth something unknowingly. Molly decides to bring in a shoebox with some of her Gran's old things- and everyone is surprised when one item is infact a hidden treasure with a hidden story.

The story is half of her reading her Gran's diary and the other half present time of her trying to decide what to do with this "hidden treasure" and the secrets that lay beneath it.

I love the characters in this story but the storyline felt slow for me. I also wasn't surprised by the ending because I think there were plenty of clues exposing the "twist"

Thank you to the author, publishing team, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Book is set to release 4/8/25!

Once again we are in the world of Molly the Maid but this time we get to know more about her Gran. This is so comforting, heart warming mixed in with a little mystery. I find that I have a fun cozy time while reading these novels. If you read all of this series you'd love this one.

When the reality show Hidden Treasures films at her hotel, Molly the Maid brings one of her gran’s items to see it’s worth. To her surprise it is worth millions! But then it suddenly goes missing. In her quest to find the missing treasure she finds her gran’s diary to be the key and in the process learns so much about her beloved gran.

I really enjoyed other books in this series but this was a let down for me. I liked hearing more about Gran’s story and I found these to be the more entertaining chapters. However, they didn’t fit great with Molly’s chapters and the Gran portrayed really didn’t feel authentic. Overall I still adore Molly as a character but I struggled to stay engaged in this story.

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for the ARC!

My thanks to Net Galley, and Random House/Ballantine for allowing me to review this arc to review.

Molly the Maid is back! This time getting some of Gran s trinkets appraised on an Antique Roadshow type show filming at her hotel. When one of the trinkets, a valuable Faberge egg is stolen, Molly and friends set out to find the culprit while planning her wedding to Juan. In between we get excerpts from Gran s diary that fill in her back story.

I did like this but thought Gran s story could have been shortened.

I loved the original book “The Maid”. I thought it was charming and original. The second book was “okay” and this latest installment has lost most of the charm.
2.5 stars

Who else has been swept up with the romance with Molly the aid and Juan Manuel? I’m ready to pack a bag and head to The Regency Grand Hotel today! Nita Prose does a great job at writing each of her books so that it easily works as a standalone.

Molly the maid #3 is a special book in the series. The book starts by bringing readers up to speed on her life. Then the diary is opened. I love the family secrets that are revealed through her grandmother’s writings. What an inspiring history of this rags-to-riches family.

Molly and Fiancé Juan Manuel, new fiancés, are planning their wedding when the Regency Grand Hotel hosts a reality show much like Antiques Roadshow. Several employees bring in their trinkets, and Molly gathers a few things, too. One of her family treasures is an egg that she has kept for sentimental reasons. Surprise! It is an authentic Faberge egg and worth millions of dollars. Molly faints, and the story gets rolling. Will she quit or continue to work as a maid? Plot twist! The egg is stolen, and Molly’s life is threatened. Detective Starks, the staff of the hotel, and us readers are hot on the search for clues. on the case. Grandmother’s diary has the answers! It’s just a good, fun story and an excellent getaway from real life.

THE MAID #3 book about Molly the Maid and esteem Maid at a hotel. She is well respected and gets promoted to events manager and also engaged to the love of her life ..well how could things get better for her? The hotel decides to have a show at the hotel where they appraise old items such as antiques. Molly brings some of hers and surprises everyone including herself that it is worth millions. Life has just changed again for for Miolly again..for the better or worse?

Thanks to Randomhouse and Netgalley for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

"The Maid’s Secret" is my favorite of all the Molly the Maid books! Nita Prose delivers a charming, feel-good mystery that’s both fluffy and heartwarming, making for an utterly enjoyable read.

Molly Gray, now the Head Maid and Special Events Manager at the Regency Grand Hotel, is preparing for two major milestones—her wedding and the auction of a priceless artifact she unknowingly owned. But when the treasure vanishes, Molly and her friends find themselves at the center of an art heist filled with twists, surprises, and a few heartfelt revelations. Through her Gran’s old diary, Molly uncovers a long-lost love story that ties directly into her present in ways she never expected.

This book is a cozy, lighthearted mystery with just the right amount of emotional depth. Molly’s unique perspective and growth make her an even more endearing character, and the past-meets-present storyline adds richness to the plot. While the pacing drags slightly in the middle, and the mystery’s resolution is a bit too tidy, the book’s warmth and charm more than make up for it.

A delightful, easy read that blends humor, intrigue, and heart. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries and uplifting stories!
